Volunteer Opportuntiies

Opportunities to volunteer for teens and adults interested in investing in our community. Children who are younger are welcome to come with their parents and participate in programming as part of the Hopeprint Family with prior approval.

Hopeprint is predominately a volunteer-led organization, and we are incredibly grateful for people like you who are willing to invest hours of your life as a part of this vision. Hopeprint has annual rhythm which include seasons of program, presence and rest.

We have wound down our fall session, and are heading into our season of presence. Our winter session of Hopeprint programming will launch on January 28, 2019, with a volunteer training (returning volunteers) and orientation (new volunteers) on Tuesday, January 22 from 6:30-8:00pm at the Hopeprint Offices (745 N Salina St, Syracuse).
